Cong used Madhu Koda to loot Jharkhand: Shah

BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday accused the Congress of using former chief minister Madhu Koda to loot Rs 4,000 crore in Jharkhand. Addressing four rallies, the BJP leader also accused the Cong of dislodging BJP governments.

The BJP president in Nimdih pitched for BJP candidate Sadhu Charam Mahato, contesting the elections from the Icchagarh assembly constituency.

Attacking JMM, Shah said, “The father-son duo (JMM chief Sibu Soren and CM son Hemant Soren) have crippled Jharkhand. I urge you to end the dynastic politics for development, like in the Centre where you removed the mother-son duo (Congress president Sonia Gandhi and son Rahul).”

In neighbouring Sonahatu, his third rally of the day, Shah campaigned with AJSU Party chief and ex-deputy chief minister Sudesh Mahto, who is contesting elections from the Silli assembly constituency.

“The BJP-AJSU Party alliance is solely for the development of Jharkhand,” said Shah, adding that looting Jharkhand was a one-point agenda of the JMM and the Congress.

Releasing the AJSU’s report card, Mahto said, “The AJSU party had turned Silli into a model constituency. It was an example of development in a state striving for growth.”

In his last address at Ormanjhi, Shah drew comparisons between BJP ruled states and Jharkhand.

“Chhattisgarh, which was formed with Jharkhand, is now much ahead of the latter. If you give us majority I assure that Jharkhand would become the No 1 state of the country,” he said.

In his speeches, Shah assured people that the Modi-government has decided spend all of the money from auctioning coal, estimated at Rs 2.5 lakhs crore, for the state’s development.
